Ladies' Of the GAR.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Pennsylvania
is glad indeed that a column in THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE has been set aside for the use of the
ladies of the GAR. If in the interval between
the institution of our Order nothing has
been heard of US, il is because the unOstenta-
tiOus practices and modest habits of our worthy
body have led it to avoid the public gaze and
to prefer the quiet charm found within itself
1t has undergone some slight changes but in
spirit and character it remains the same. In
our devotion to charity we maintain the agree
able tenor of our way, proceeding by slow but
certain footsteps to that eminence in the not
too remote future which our grand and glorious
work will secure for us.
Gen. George III. Thomas Circle Pittsburg, al
though not quite two years old, is in flourish
ing condition and doing good work. The Presi-
dent, Amanda Moffitt, is a never-tiring and
Jealous worker, and ever ready to lend help
ing hand or to aid in advancing the interests of
our Order. This Circle has a membership num-
bering almost 80, and at our last meeting several
new members were initiated and as many more
proposed for membership. We have upward of
5000 in our Circle treasury. We hope that our
services in the cause we have espOuscd will al
ways be earnest, faithful and intelligent, and
that we may carefully cultivate and foster that
soul-sustaining principle, Charity, for it is the
palladium of our saiety.-ANNIE NJ. DAVIS, Cor
responding Secretary, Gen. Thomas Circle, No.

Fresh Air.

We do not condemn the theory or the prac-
tice of resorting to fresh air, mountain retreats
uuiet country homes, seaside rambles aud bath
ing, OF the various mineral springs as restora-
tives to failing health. No doubt there are
many who have been greatly relieved by all
these favorite resorts, and some very justly
claim they have been cured. But the number
is legion who find no comfort, no relief to their
weakness, their aches, and pains, in such grasp
ing at straws in their struggle to save them
selves. The following letters illustrate this
point and show the wisdom of the one most in.
terested in the case.

April 20, 1856, wrote the following:
MY family doctor said ought and must
90 to Hot Springs and stay three months. My
good brother came down from Middle Tennes-

TO 90 and spend three months at tho Springs.

more about Hot Springs than either of them.

ASSOCIATION NEWS.

A local association at Flint, Mich, has been
organized with "a charter members, and its
prospects are good for large additions to its
numbers.
Earnestness in whatever they undertake is
quality Of all Michigan soldiers, and those who
were prisoners of war are not likely to detraes
from this reputation.
The Lewis County (Ky.) Elk Prisoners Asso-
citation has just been chartered, with its head
quarters at Concord, in that State. 1t indicates
a healthy and energetic organization, with q
respectable and influential charter membership.
An association at Minneapolis, MIMI, with
30 members, has been chartered, and gives
promise of one of the strongest Ex- Prisoners
organizations in the country. With such a
comrade as Geo. w. Grant at its head it could
hardly be failure, even were it's prospects less
encouraging than they are.
Ccmrade Barclay, of SinnamahOning. Pa,
proposes to establish an association in his
County, and has asked for the necessary in
structiOns how to proceed.
j. Everett Alden, of Litchfeld County, Conn.,,
who graduated from Libby, Danville, Savannah
and AndersOnville, manifests much interest in
Union Elk Prisoners Associations, and desires
instructions to enable him to start the work IN
his County.
Comrade Harry c. Denviel, of Custer County,
Idaho, is much interested in the cause and
wishes to know what steps are necessary to get
tho work under way.
VIM. H. Krantz, of Frederick County, Md.
reports that he was prisoner Ii months, and
suffers constantly from his exposure and treat
ment during that time; but as he was not en-
listed, and only employed by the army as
scout, be is unable to obtain any recognition
on the pension-rOlls.
Comrade A. Chapman, of Cameron Co., Pa,
reports over 20 ex- prisoners in his County, and
thinks the time has arrived when an assoeia-
ton should be started for their benefit.
